—A number of wild boars being, a few days ago, pursued in the wood of Champvoux (France), made their appearance suddenly in the hamlet of Quatre-Vents, in the midst of a group of about twenty persons, who at once took to flight. But shortly after, seeing that the animals had passed on rapidly, they recovered their courage, and finding that one of the intruders had stopped to take breath, they returned and attacked it, expecting an easy conquest. However, they were wofully deceived, for it turned fiercely on the assailants, and making a charge, overthrew men, women, and children, and made its escape. Three persons received severe wounds.
